This study aimed to investigate the effects of smoke exposure on allergic asthma and its association with mast cells. Methods BALB c mice were sensitized and challenged by OVA to induce asthma and bone marrow-derived mast cells BMMCs were stimulated with antigen antibody reaction. Mice or BMMCs were exposed to cigarette smoke or CSE solution for 1 mo or 6 h respectively. The recruitment of inflammatory cells into BAL fluid or lung tissues was determined by Diff-Quik or H E staining collagen deposition by Sircol assay penh values by a whole-body plethysmography co-localization of tryptase and Smad3 by immunohistochemistry IgE and TGF-p level by ELISA expressions of Smads proteins activities of signaling molecules or TGF-p mRNA by immunoblotting and RT-PCR. Results Cigarette smoke enhanced OVA-specific IgE levels penh values recruitment of inflammatory cells including mast cells expressions of smad family TGF-p mRNA and proteins and cytokines phosphorylations of Smad2 and 3 and MAP kinases co-localization of tryptase and Smad3 and collagen deposition more than those of BAL cells and lung tissues of OVA-induced allergic mice. CSE solution pretreatment enhanced expressions of TGF-p Smad3 activities of MAP kinases NF-kB AP-1 or PAI-1 more than those of activated-BMMCs. Conclusions The data suggest that smoke exposure enhances antigen-induced mast cell activation via TGF-p Smad signaling pathways in mouse allergic asthma and that it exacerbates .
